I installed a new bigger hard drive and now spotlight does not work with outlook to search for emails

My old hard drive was full so I went to an apple authorized provider to install a new bigger hard drive. They also moved the data and applications from my old drive to the new one. They did not use time capsule because their way was faster. After the installation I did have to reenter the product code key for Office 2011 for the Mac. However, now I find that I cannot do email spotlight searches in Outlook. When I put in the search - it comes up with no results. This is true no matter what the search. Any ideas of how to point spotlight to look in the email folders so I can do searches again. This is a feature I use daily - so I am concerned that I have lost this feature. Also, I am noticing that alot of the settings did not carry over to the new hard drive. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would recommend starting over and migrate using your Time Capsule backup however DO NOT do it wirelessly, connect using an Ethernet Connection. If you upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard then follow the instructions in this video, the kid is annoying but he knows what he's doing. Clean Install Of Snow Leopard video. Once you have installed and updated Snow Leopard then update using the 10.6.8 Update Combo, then log into the Mac App Store and re-install Lion and all it's updates. My guess this is an afternoons work.

  • Installed OS X 10.5.6 AND NOW MAIL DOES NOT WORK

    Installed the newest operating system and Mail does not send or receive messages from the .mac/mobile me account. In fact there are no old messages in any of the folders (inbox,sent,junk,drafts, or trash). New messages can be read and sent online but nothing through Mail.
    I have deleted the account and added it new again in preferences. I have deleted Mail and reinstalled it. I have made sure the account is "Online" and still nothing. Activity shows no progress and Connection doctor says I am connected to both incoming and outgoing mail servers. Help?!!

    I am not sure what your attempts to fix this may have created, but the original issue may be what is discussed in:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
    In addition to the article cited, if you ran 10.3 or earlier prior to upgrading to Tiger, once-upon-a-time, you might also need to remove two files with MessageSorting in their names.
    More info, please. Your issue may not be what is targeted by the article, particularly if you could see any messages in any mailbox?

    I have a macbook 2006 its hard drive was not working anymore so i install a new 500GB hard drive but now i just need the software. Which one should i buy?

    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

  • I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

    I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

    Your images are truly no longer present on the hard drive(s)? Have you had your operating system do a search for them?
    If such a search fails to find them, here's what I would do, in order
    Look in the trash can/recycle bin
    Restore from backups
    If you don't have backups ... well, why not? ... find a program on the internet called an "undelete utility" (free versons are available) and then download and install it and run it. If you are going to do this, then do not perform any other tasks on your computer except find the program, download it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), install it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), and run it. In the future, you will need to commit to making regular backups of your photos and of your Lightroom catalog file, no excuses.
    If that doesn't work, but the thumbnails still appear in Lightroom, you can probably recover the thumbnails from Lightroom via a plug-in, but these would be low-resolution versions of your photos, if you really need instructions on this step, write back

  • Installed new itunes update and now it will not sync with outlook

    installed new itunes update and now it will not sync with outlook. it says it will only do it through the Icloud. How can i change it

    Hello xtremejoe
    I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

    Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

  • Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site i'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9.

    Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site I'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9. I'm
    running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
    and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
    broke this application. Help!!

    Hi,
    It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
    Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
    The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.
    For more infromation,please check link below:

  • Prompted to update iTunes today and now it does not work.  tried reinstalling and caanot successfully reinstall.

    prompted to update iTunes today and now it does not work.  tried reinstalling and caanot successfully reinstall.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Just installed Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro Retina and now Safari does not work

    Just installed Micro Office 2011 on my 13" MacBook Retina and now Safari is not working correctly. Pages load very slowly or not at all.
    Any idea of what's wrong?
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Spotlight does not work with my Lacie d2 drive connected.

    I, like many others, have been struggling with the case of Spotlight shannigans for some time since it stopped working smoothly on the release of 10.4.8, I think. Anyway no amount of privacy setting, re-indexing, SystemUI force quitting or crying seemed ti fix the problem. Then - in a trial and error experiment the likes of which I had never undertaken before - I found the culprit. Spotlight does not work when my Lacie d2 Extreme 200GB is connected. No matter if it is connected by USB, Firewire or Daisychained - as soon as the computer sees it is plugged in - Spotlight (and all other search functions) dies.
    Thinking it was simply a case of fixing something on the drive, I updated the firmware, completely deleted and repaired the disk and thought it would start afresh. Unfortunately this was not the case - so now I have to decide between having Spotlight working, or having my external drive connected.
    Does anyone have any ideas at all of what else I could try to do?

    Hi there - I've reformatted it twice, once as OSX Extended, and Once as OSX Extended Journalled. Neither really made much difference. As a quick work around, I managed to add it to the privacy list before the computer had a chance to index it - so far so good, but I can't search the drive. Better that than the alternative though! The only other weird thing was it did work straight out of the box with no problems for almost 3 years - it was just the move to the New iMac and an update or two that started the snafu.

  • I upgraded my Mac Pro to Yosemite and now CS5 does not work.

    Help.....Adobe Photoshop CS5 does not load now that I upgraded my MacPro to yosemite....anybody have this problem and how was it fixed?

    Yes. The Yosemite upgrade is notorious for damaging CS5 installs. Please reinstall and let us know how it goes.
    Also make sure Yosemite is upgraded to 10.10.1
    The reinstall will set your instal to 12.0.0  If Help > Updates does not work, go here Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    download and apply the updates for Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw.
